Texas SOS position that county judge cannot cancel ordered Mitchell Bend incorporation election
Company: Marathon Digital
The claim, verbatim
In a letter filed as an exhibit, the Texas Secretary of State's Elections Division took the position that no statute gives a county judge unilateral power to cancel an ordered municipal incorporation election. It said such disputes belong in district court and that invalidating the scheduled election without statutory authority or a court order would be inconsistent with the Texas Election Code. The office declined to refer the matter to the Attorney General and instead forwarded it to the county.
